Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese (we prefer full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ⅓ cup peanut butter (divided)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Line a small, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine cottage cheese, honey, and 3 tablespoons (about 60 grams) of peanut butter in a medium bowl.
- Use an immersion blender or the pulse function on a food processor to blend just until smooth. Do not over-mix or it will liquify the cottage cheese.
- Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over prepared baking sheet without touching the edges of the pan (to avoid sticking)
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-45 seconds at full power. Warm peanut butter in microwave for 10-15 seconds just until softened (if you warm it too long, it will burn)
- Alternate dollops of melted chocolate and peanut butter on top of the mixture, and swirl with a toothpick to get a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle with chopped peanuts if you want, and freeze for at least 3 hours or until solid.
Notes
Store cottage cheese bark in the freezer up to 3 months. We recommend cutting the bark into individual portions and storing in single layers in an airtight container.
Separate each layer with parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.
Remove from the freezer 5-10 minutes before eating to let it soften a bit.
